Ghupa

Ghupa (111 BC-) was an Egyptian man who worked as an informant for Harkuf in Sais during the 1st century BC.

Biography
Ghupa was born in Sais, Ptolemaic Egypt in 111 BC, and he fathered Maharet, who went on to marry Taharqa, the most powerful man in the region, and had a son with him, Kawab. In around 49 BC, he became an informant for Harkuf, assisting him in his search for the identity of "the Scarab", an Order of the Ancients member who had been oppressing the region. Before he could report to Harkuf, he was abducted by Ptolemaic soldiers on the Scarab's orders, and he was nearly beaten to death, his tongue cut out, and he was thrown onto the streets, where he was rescued by Taharqa. In 48 BC, he infiltrated Camp Pyrrhos, where he discovered that the Scarab was sending troops to Letopolis, where Taharqa was based out of. However, he was captured, beat, and thrown into a cage. He was rescued by the medjay Bayek, and he later deduced that his son-in-law was "the Scarab", although his inability to speak rendered him unable to reveal Taharqa's identity to his family or to Bayek. After Taharqa was assassinated by Bayek at the Temple of Horus, Ghupa confirmed to his daughter that Taharqa was "the Scarab", and that that he had been responsible for cutting out his tongue. Bayek asked Ghupa and Maharet to ensure that Kawab did not grow up to follow in his father's footsteps, but, for ten years, Kawab would obsess over avenging his father's death by killing Bayek.
